"A shepherd should not be rough,
boisterous, noisy, quick-tempered, or a
swearing man; such one is very dis
agreeable to have about.
1t always seems to us, says the
Western Rural, so be the blindest folly
for farmer and dairyman who has
calves from cows that are possessed of
sufficient dairy merits to make them
profitable, to sell these calves. which, to
say the least, may be like their dams,
and then depend upon chance to pick
up his cows from other peoples herds.
To prepare fish with crumbs, pre-
pare the fish by soaking and mince it
rather coarsely, and then put it in lay
ers into q well-buttered pan with bread
crumbs, little pepper, salt and grated
nutmeg between each layer and bring
to the boil pour over little stock, just
sufficient to moisten it, then add anoth-
er layer of bread crumbs, put the dish
into the oven and serve hot.
Potato Souffle: Boil and mash a
quart of potatoes, moisten with pint
of boiled milk; beat separately the
whites and yelks of three eggs, add the
yelks to the potatoes and little salt;
whisk the whites to froth and add
just before cooking the dish. Put the
mixture on large dinner-plate and
bake fifteen minutes; serve as soon as
taken from the oven. - Cincinnati

Chocolate Pudding: One quart of
milk, three ounces grated chocolate.
Scald the milk and chocolate together.
When cool, add the yelks of five eggs
and one cup of sugar. Bake about
twenty-five minutes. Beat the whites
of the eggs to a stiff froth, with three
fourths of a cup of sugar, spread over
the top of the pudding, and brown
slightly in the oven. 1t should be per-
fectly cold when eaten. Good Cheer.
Screws that are too small for sepa-
rate treatment may be cleaned from
rust as follows: Take pound of screws
and place them in a small box-a cigar
box will do; put a small quantity of oil
on them and shake for minute; then
put piece of cotton waste in the box
and repeat for q minute; finally, put
a handful of sawdust in the box and
shake for another minute or so, and re-
move the sawdust by sitting it from the
screws in fine seive. The screws will
come out well cleaned. Boston Budqet.

A VICIOUS PRACTICE.
The Growth ofArsenic Eating in New York
and Other American Cities.

and Other American Cities.
The habit of arsenic eating is bccom-
ing more and more common among the
young women of this city, and the
physicians say that nothing too harsh
can be uttered against this miserable
practice. Arsenic preparations of all
kinds are advertised, and various pre-
paratiOns of this deadly drug are daily
sold for the alleged purpose of beautify-
ing the complexion. They who use it are
daily laying the foundation of adiscase
that will one day destroy some of their
most vital organs. The actual object
to be gained by arsenic eating is that
clear, white, almost transparent skin
which they so much admire, and which
may mean an early death. Again, the
results obtained by the use of arsenic
show very plainly the hurtful nature of
it. The exact state of affairs brought
about by arsenic eating is diminution
of the strength of the blood; the capt.
larry blood vessels are stopped from
working; the ends of the blood vessels
are killed; no blood is supplied to the
skin, and the real reason for the white,
transparent nature of the skin is that
it is practically dead. If the result of
arsenic eating is the highly transparent
state of the skin, and if this can only
result from the killing of blood vessels,
the claim that there is no harm in the
habit becomes an absurdity. Physi-
clans throughout the city are up in
arms against the use of the drug. One
prominent doctor said: II hope some
thing will be done, and done soon, to
stop this abominable traffic. If the
destruction of the blood vessels was the
only thing the arsenic eater succeeded
in doing, it would be bad enough; but
that is not all The arsenic has bad
effect upon the kidneys, and is likely to
bring on disease which will end only
in death. 1t has also bad effect on
the digestive organs, and soon destroys
their action; the liver, too, is diseased
by the poison, and the nerves become
affected to such an extent that their
control becomes impossible 1t acts
upon the system in such q way that the
victim of the habit becomes lost to all
sense of morality. The practice Of
arsenic eating is vicious one that
ought to be stopped Immediately before
any more harm is done."-M T. Post.

COB MEAL FOR HOGS.


Interesting Experiments Made at the Iowa
Agricultural College.
The relative merits of cob meal Corn
and cobs ground together) and Indian
meal (the corn alone) are forcibly por-
trayed in an experiment at the Iowa
Agricultural College. Six lots of young
barrows of the same breed averaging
about $50 pounds each were divided in
to two departments of the same weight
and flesh. During the spring and sum-
mer they received little more than grass,
and after August were fed grain to fat
ten them. Full feeds of rye were given
them excepting one week in the last Of
August, when corn on the cob was fed.
The feeding of meal was begun on Sep
TENDER IA, and before account was taken
of the experiment, each lot was fed one
week to accustom it to the feed. At
this time they were quite even in degree
of fairness, but those fed corn meal were
somewhat the heavier.
The hogs were weighed at the begin
ming of the experiment at the end of one
week, and again at the end of two
weeks, when they were sold. In each
case the weight was taken about noon
and before feeding. They were fed
three times each day. The meal was
slightly moistened and a small pinch of
salt given each lot in the mornings
food. They were kept in Enclosures
where no other food was obtainable.
The week before the experiment began
the weight of the six hogs was ASP
pounds.
During the first weeks experiments,
Lot No. /, fed on cob meal, gained 81
pounds; No. 2, "a! pounds; No. 8, 12}
pounds, making a total of AZ pounds
for the cob-fed class the first week.
Those fed pure meal gained 164 pounds,
1871 pounds and 164 pounds, amounting
to 463 pounds. At the end of the second
week of feeding, the first class fed on
cob meal had gained % pounds, MAX
ing with the first weeks gain of AZ
pounds, Is pounds. The second class,
fed on clear meal, had made q gain of
50t pounds in the second week, or a
total gain 81 pounds, showing gain
over the cob meal of % pounds. OF
course this demonstrates the superior
value OF the clear meal; but when the
relative expense of the two meals is
considered, the experiment speaks worry
highly for cob and corn ground to-
gether, all the more SC when we re-
member that the second class fed on
clear meal was slightly heavier than
Glass l at the beginning of the first
weeks experiments.
BY carefully weighing several bushels
before and after shelling, it was found
that there are 1408 pounds of cob to
each bushel of corn, counting 1908
pounds to the bushel of corn and cob
meal, and Sc pounds to n bushel Of
corn meal. There was fed 6.22 bushels
of corn and cob meal and $50 bushels
of clear corn meal. The cob meal pro-
duced 1905 pounds of pork for each
bushel fed and the corn meal 11.67
pounds per bushel. TO produce ono
pound OF pork, 4.79 pounds of the clear
meal were required and 5.81 pounds Of
the cob meal. At So per hundred
weight (the price at which the hogs
were Sold, the gain gave AS cents per
bushel for the cob meal, and All cents
per bushel for the clear corn meal.
The hogs fed clear corn meal gained
more rapidly but made less money out
of the corn consumed.-Farm and
